Question:
Does anyone know where to buy delica beads that would be the most
economical? I don't want a "cheap" bead. I like the nice delica's but find
the prices from site to site jump all over the money scale. Why are the
prices so diverse? What is a reasonable price for a 10gm tube of delica's?
I have paid anywhere from $2.10 to $6.30 . Are the differences because of
color, translucence, opacity and lining? I have bought a lot of beads on
JustBeads.com and have found the prices comparable to just buying them from
a merchant online. Why is this?
Answer:
- when I am trying to find the best price on beads -- I did this
recently with flower and leaf beads -- I go to the Beadfairies site and check
out all the vendors. This is not a complete list of all vendors, but it hits
the major big ones, which usually have the lowest prices, but for a large
quantity. And I do the research on the beads that I am wanting to buy.
I have never done this with delicas, because I use them only by accident, LOL.
They are just more seed beads to me, because I only string beads and don't do
the kind of beading a lot of you do here. But I know you can figure out the
answer yourself and might have a blast doing it, then can come back and educate
US!!
